Available information indicates that overstripping and subsequent replacement of topsoil can produce horizon characteristics similar to plow depth characteristics resulting from cultivation

Topsoil stripping of forested soils and its subsequent replacement would result in horizon characteristics similar to those of the plough depth resulting from farming practices

No clear relationships emerged between soil Orders, zones, or soil parent materials and the effect of pipeline construction on soil compaction. Soil moisture conditions appear to be more important.

At each of the fifteen 1989 study areas and at each of the eight 1988 study areas soil strength was monitored using a cone penetrometer in 15 cm depth increments to a depth of 52.5 cm.

Concerns about soil compaction on pipeline rights-of-way have increased with the introduction of heavier, more powerful construction equipment

Dissipation of bromacil in Humic Luvic Gleysols amended with cow manure was evaluated at two sites in northwestern Alberta from 1984 to 1987

Crude average bear density for the AOSERP study area, including water areas, was 0.18 per km2 assuming total avoidance of muskeg areas and 0.25 per km2 assuming use of muskeg

Once the composite model is calibrated and tested, it would predict mass loading or concentration of a parameter at any point along the study area for different future development scenarios

Objective to evaluate the streamflow, suspended sediment, lake level, and water quality networks in the AOSERP study area so as to provide the basis for continuation and/or redirection.

This report contains all the available suspended sediment discharge information for 1976 that was collected by Water Survey of Canada and by Alberta Oil Sands Environmental Research Program (AOSERP)...
